It's certainly an impressive resume, and would fill a need that KC has stated they'd like to fill, center back. And at this point in his career, he may not demand a huge contract. The question regarding Mensah is his lack of playing time lately. Since returning to Lyon from Sunderland after the 2010-2011 season, Mensah has played just 12 games with four different teams. Not exactly the type of playing stats you want to see from a player that you're likely expecting to be a contributor for the team.

Still it's hard to ignore the resume that Mensah is coming in with. But I do like that KC is just trialing him instead of signing him straight up. The team doesn't need a situation like Vuk Rasovic or Nikos Kounenakis where the guys come expected to contribute and bring little to nothing at all on the field.
